The Soul Winner (Updated, Annotated): How to Lead Sinners to the Saviour

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Very often when converts are born in excitement, they die when the excitement is over.

I don’t delight in religion which needs or creates an impulsive, hotheaded convert. Give me godliness which flourishes upon Calvary rather than upon Vesuvius.

True repentance is a change of mind with regard to everything. Instead of saying, “It’s only a change of mind,” it seems more truthful to say it is a great and deep change – even a change of the mind itself.

The one who practices sin is of the devil (1 John 3:8). Remaining under the power of any known sin is a mark of our being the servants of sin, for you are slaves of the one whom you obey (Romans 6:16).

If the Lord has opened your mouth, the Devil can’t shut it. But if the Devil has opened it, may the Lord shut it!”

Believe what you say you believe, or you will never persuade anybody else to believe it.
